It is possible to run Workbench scripts in batch mode. You need to configure solvers of individual components to run in parallel mode. Open your project in Workbench. Then, for example, in Mechanical, go to Tools - Solve Process Settings ...

Enable Distribute Solution checkbox and enter number of cores (eg. 48 to run on two Salomon nodes). If you want the job to run on more then 1 node, you must also provide a so called MPI appfile. In the Additional Command Line Arguments input field, enter:

-mpifile /path/to/my/job/mpifile.txt

Where /path/to/my/job is the directory where your project is saved. We will create the file mpifile.txt programatically later in the batch script. For more information, refer to *ANSYS Mechanical APDL Parallel Processing* *Guide*.

Now, save the project and close Workbench. We will use this script to launch the job:
